Hi Brew,there ain't no lacquer on it. Only thing that's ever been done to it is the liner. Lots of rain and gas and oil over 5 years and that's what you'll get.
you seem to have edited out a line that was in the e-mail that the list sent me :- " got any other details on MY motorcycle that I built? "
OK then, the lets say "controlled rust" is the look you want and that's fine, as is the hardtail so long as your back survives but why no front brake and no front fender?
Those extreme modifications are obviously perfect for winning a prize at Biltwell (and congratulations for that) but I'd be scared to drive it on the street.
